Create a high-quality model of a steampunk airship with this kit. When finished, the airship has a wind-up rubber band motor with a stop/start switch, engine-driven propellers, a spinning ship’s wheel, and more. Explore the mechanics of these elements as you assemble them yourself! No glue required—this project is completed by snapping together the pre-cut wooden pieces as you follow the instructions. The finished model measures about 6.7” x 5.3” x 3.5” and can be painted using thin paints or watercolors for an even bolder effect. This is an easy-level project with just 170 pieces and an assembly time of about three hours. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
